This happened a few years ago. I was helping out my mother-in-law with getting firewood for the winter in the forest nearby her house. After a few hours work I took a break and relaxed with some food and coffee when a older man stopped by for a chat. Apparently he seemed to be someone my mother-in-law knew as he was asking how she was doing. After a while he left off and I continued my work. The same happened the next day. This time I asked what his name was and he told me. He left and I finished off my work.Back at my mother-in-law's house I told her about this man and she asked who it was. I told her the name and she went white pale and asked how he looked like. No wonder she looked shocked...she told me that the old man died for more than 30 years ago....

I was about 12 years old and I was lying in bed one night. I looked at the window and it looked like tehre was a face staring at me through the window from the other side. The face looked like it was just floating there. I got up and walked to the window and it looked like my grandfather floating outside looking in at me. I could make out his lips mouthing "I love you" and then he disappeared. About 10 minutes later my mother walked in my room and told me that my grandfather died of a heart attack about an hour earlier.

I really want to believe in the supernatural and have had multiple experiences that neither I nor science have been able to adequately explain; bizarre lights in the sky, seemingly ghostly activity happening right in front of my eyes, strange figures visible for only seconds before evaporating etc. However I refuse to claim that I've witnessed anything supernatural, just things that have not yet been quantified by science.

Carl Sagan wrote a great thesis on using what he calls "The Sceptic's Toolkit", similar to Occam's razor but with a baseline view that without feasible proof then anything "supernatural" is just not yet understood. The huge majority of evidence of paranormal phenomena can be easily proved as fake, and the remainder is just not understood, not proof of ghosts or monsters or anything else.

Believe me I want to be wrong, nothing would make me happier than proof of a tangible and truly paranormal phenomena, it's just that there is no real evidence to suggest it yet.
